First class luxury wildlife adventure
We have never been on safari before and we booked this based on reviews and also that the accomodation seemed to be within the wildlife parks.
We came into contact with Peter and he was very clear about costs and the itenary, he helped to reassure us that we would be refunded if covid issues meant we couldnt travel from Sweden.
We didnt really expect the accomodation to be so luxurious, and we didnt realise that the tour was only for us. We were the only ones in the large 4x4 safari vehicle so we had great service from our two guides Edward and John. Between them they had over 25 years experience. I was baffled how they could find their way around the vast parks without using any kind of map. They were great spotters and we managed to see the big 5 and so much more because of them. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend this company to anyone who wants a great personal experience with top class service and accomodation.
Note about Covid issues in Kenya. On our last day (March 26 2021) the Kenyan goverment introduced new restriction, preventing travel between many regions of Kenya and caused the closing pubs in certain regions, with only take away food allowed. The Curfew time in Nairobi was reduced to 20:00 for instance. So this might affect future safaris in the region unfortunately. Please check the Kenyan goverment web site or contact Peter at Africa Flash Mc Tours and Travel.

Incredible experience on 4 day Safari for Tsavo East, West, and Amboseli
I had an amazing experience while out on safari with Africa Flash. When I first inquired about doing a 4 day safari from Mombasa that took me to Tsavo East, West, Amboseli, and eventually back to Nairobi I got a very quick response from Peter. Any emails with any questions, were answered very quickly as well. Because of his quick and thorough responses I was at ease for this trip. Not only was it my first trip to Africa but it was also my first time traveling by myself and thanks to Peter and my safari driver Simon, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. All accommodations were taken care of before my arrival so I didn’t have a single worry. My driver Simon was just a really cool guy that made the entire solo experience much better. I felt like I was driving with a friend as opposed to just a guide. He was very knowledgeable about all of the animals and about the Kenyan culture. If I ever do have the pleasure of coming back to Kenya, I would definitely book with them again and I would certainly refer them to friends and family.

The BEST trip of my life
This was my first safari experience and it was absolutely AMAZING!
I traveled from the US and worked with Peter to plan the trip and make my payment and he was so professional, kind, and prompt with his responses so he made the process very smooth and comfortable. My tour guide was Edward and he is the BEST! Edward knew so much about the animals and the land we were exploring. He does his job SO great and I’m so happy we had him as our guide. We got to see ALL of the Big 5 and Edward even taught me some Swahili! I would highly recommend this adventure for anyone, you will absolutely love it!

The best experience EVER
I took a 4 day 3 night safari to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru in February 2021 and had an AMAZING time. Peter was nothing but professional and trustworthy. I couldn't have had a better experience on our safari. Our guide's name was Edward and he was outstanding. Edward knew ALL of the animals and was a pleasure to be around and is now a new friend. I feel lucky that we were able to have Edward as our guide. We saw ALL of the big five several times. The hotel accommodations and food that we had was also outstanding. The safari vehicle was very big and powerful. This was a trip of a lifetime. I did all of my research and chose this particular company based on the reviews and the good things people said about Peter and boy were they right. Do not choose another company, this is the best. Our guide Edward was such a pleasure and made our experience that much more valuable. I saw so many animals it was like being in a movie. I am so happy that I chose this company and wouldn't recommend anyone else. Peter and Edward are amazing people. I have not one criticism of anything on this safari. There is not one thing that could've been better. The trip was 10 out of 10, just wonderful. You can't go wrong with this safari, I am forever thankful
Wonderful Experience!! :D
The communication was good, Peter replied to all our queries, he even helped us decide which camp was good to stay in at the Mara and we were impressed.
0ur guide John was very knowledgeable about the animals and we learned a lot and he made sure we got to see all the big 5 animals and others. There was no problem he couldn’t solve and he was very nice all the way.
They gave us one of the best experience and we must say John was an amazing tour guide he made sure we had a good experience .
We were amazed by how good the service was.
Highly recommend and it was money well spent.

One sentence is not enough to describe Simon's persistence to find at least one lion for me! He did!
The service was really good. Everything was well organized, I had nothing to do except to enjoy the view! I can never thank Simon & Patrick enough for taking care of me for 3 days.
Thank you again Peter for everything.

Anthony was the best!
Excellent 4-day trip to Lake Nakuru and Maasai Mara; quality jeep, good lodges, great food. Overall, well organised and our driver/guide Anthony was fun, patient and chatty. We had a great time and it was excellent value for money.

Spectacular experience in Amboseli with guide Edward
We are a mid-20s married couple and chose the private 3-day safari at Amoseli with accommodations at Kibo. On our 3 game drives, we saw hundreds of elephants, 3 lions and 3 cheetahs among many other animals. The visibility of Mt Kilimanjaro was very good in the mornings and evenings, even though we were told clouds often cover the mountain. Edward was a great guide, teaching us about the animals, the park, Swahili language, and Kenya in general. He was charming and wanted to make sure we had a great time. We felt very safe and comfortable throughout the safari and at Kibo Camp. The waiters and waitresses at the camp made us feel special and were delightful. The Land Cruiser was a neat vehicle except for some troubles with the seatbelts. Peter was responsive and thorough with email communication. Highly recommend this safari experience!

Excellent guide, Anthony, made this a trip of a lifetime.
We had the trip of our lives in Africa and a large part of the success can be credited to our guide Anthony. He was fun, talkative and informative. He is a great driver, an amazing driver. We went where we wanted to go safely and assertively. Great fun! He has an amazing amount of knowledge about the safari area and the animals, continually adding much to our day with his additional information. An example are the three times we were able to watch lions mate because Anthony knew they were getting ready by their demeanor, and would say be patient, give them more time. I am sure we saw a lot of wonderful animal behavior because Anthony has a keen eye for them and could explain their behavior to us. He knew where the find the animals!
He also taught us a lot about the landscape, trees, and other vegetation such as the sausage tree that is eaten by giraffes and elephants.
Anthony also knew more fun stuff such as the equator place and what fun we had there with a science experience to prove we were on the equator.
I also want to stay that due to Sue's brain cancer and other sore muscles and joints for both Sue and Bob, Anthony was very careful helping us in and out of the Land Cruiser, which was a very worthwhile upgrade. Very much appreciated!
Lastly we just want to mention all the extras and there were so many. We loved the phone ring tone on his phone because it is a favorite song. Sue loved talking and laughing briefly with Anthony's wife and daughter - great fun! A sparkle to the days! He provided so much extra sparkles to our day. We feel very blessed to have been matched with Anthony as our guide. It was a fantastic match. Again we had the time of our lives and a large part of that is because of Anthony. Five out of five stars! Thank him for all the fun and laughter. He is a great man with a great heart and is also a great guide! The accommodations were also excellent, especially The Elephant Bedroom!
As far as doing some things different, for me, I would alter the itinerary so there was less 1 night stops, as there is barely time enough at a location to relax any before having to pack up and checkout. I would also reduce the number of box lunches packed by the resorts, or find a way to keep them cold. My stomach, is affected by food sitting out too long, and they were sitting out too long for my aging body, but were large enough and had enough variety that I could eat the bread and fruit and cheese, but at times they were necessary to keep out schedule working good.
We hope to come back, as the Kenyan people are so nice, and we would choose Africa FlashMC tours again and ask for Anthony.

Excellent experience! :D
We did the 6-day safari Samburu-Nakuru-Masai Mara and it was wonderful!! I would definitely choose the same tour and company again!
The route was great, as it gave us the chance to see most of the animales of the area and also appreciate different sceneries, as plants and animals change a lot between the different reserves. We actually got to see 3 types of giraffes, 2 of rhinos and 2 of ostriches + plenty types of birds and other animals as well (including Samburu's Special 5 and the Big 5)
In terms of cost/benefit, I thought it really good, as it was a private the tour for 2, including an excellent guide, very very nice hotels and all the food.
Our guide Patrick was very good. He made us feel safe and was incredibly skilled on spotting animals (we saw a leopard on our first game drive!). He would give us as much time as needed to be watching animals without hurrying us! That was great! He was very flexible and that made us feel comfortable. He would always considered our thoughts and wishes (he tried to focus on the animals we wanted to spot)... you could see that he was doing his best effort! He really wanted to make sure that we were having an incredible time.
We were surprised by the good quality of service given by the company and how trustworthy they were.
